Soul Pain : The Meaning of Suffering in Later Life Paperback / softback
by Helen Black
Part of the Society and Aging Series series
Paperback / softback
Description
This book explores the multifaceted experience of suffering in old age.
Older adults suffer from a variety of causes such as illness, loss, and life disappointment, to name a few.
Suffering also occurs due to experiences related to one's gender, ethnic background, and religion.
Although gerontological literature has equated suffering with depression, grief, pain and sadness, elders themselves distinguished suffering from these concepts and at the same time showed how they are linked.
Narratives of suffering from community-dwelling elders are interpreted in this book, along with the personal meaning of suffering that lies within each narrative.
